True Palate Hospitality plans to expand its portfolio of experience-led dining brands across India and international markets, focusing on concepts that combine food, design, culture and community.

True Palate Hospitality, a leading hotel chain, plans to expand its portfolio of experience-led dining brands across India and overseas, focusing on combining food with design, culture, and community-driven experiences.

Founded in 2019 by Vartik Tihara and Ankit Tayal, the company currently operates brands including One8 Commune, Neuma and Pincode by Chef Kunal Kapur. Its outlets are spread across cities such as Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Goa, Indore, Ludhiana, Mohali, and Dubai.

Vartik Tihara, Co-founder and Director, True Palate Hospitality, said consumers are choosing restaurants not just for the cuisine, but also for spaces that reflect their lifestyle and community, and that give them a reason to return beyond the food.

This gap inspired the company to build brands with distinct identities rather than simply opening more restaurants, he said.

The changing consumer preferences have led restaurants to evolve beyond dining spaces into venues for social interaction, celebrations and community engagement, he said.

Ankit Tayal, co-founder, said the company has sought to develop brands with clearly defined concepts instead of following short-term trends.

“From the very beginning, our approach has been to build hospitality brands with a strong sense of identity. Instead of chasing trends, we believe in building concepts that can evolve with consumers while remaining authentic to their core,” he said.

Sustainable growth is built on strong systems, empowered teams, operational discipline and a relentless focus on the customer.

“Our focus is to ensure every new restaurant delivers consistent quality and guest experience as the business expands,” said Tihara.

The company plans to invest in technology, logistics, quality management, talent development and operational processes to support its expansion plans while maintaining uniform service standards across locations.
